A country which should be on every traveller’s bucket list with its beautiful snowy mountain peaks and perfectly preserved medieval monasteries. Armenia is one of the Caucasus’ understated delights having preserved their rich cultural heritage and language dating as far back as 860 BC.
It’s the ideal destination for any traveller who appreciates natural beauty, ancient history, sun kissed fruits, and mouth-watering cuisine. This small country will draw you in with its capturing landscapes, ancient monuments, and unparalleled hospitality.
The rural towns and mountain villages are largely untouched by tourism where you will find the monastic ruins of the world’s first Christian nation. Be transported by the poignant duduk tunes and mystical Gregorian chants echoing within ancient stone walls. Ride the world’s longest non-stop cable car, see the world’s oldest shoe, the world’s oldest cathedral in Etchmiadzin, and taste a 6,000-year-old wine making tradition.
Armenia is praised by nearly everyone who visits as welcoming, family oriented and safe – children are welcome everywhere and well-catered for with no shortage of indoor and outdoor play areas, theme parks and child-friendly spaces.
Take time to discover the different regions, taste the amazing home-style cooking where farm-to-table produce is the norm. If adrenalin and adventure seeking is more your thing, you’re in the right place. The dramatic landscape of jagged mountains and deep, rugged valleys lends itself magnificently to biking, hiking, paragliding, ziplining, camping and off-roading.
For a more cosmopolitan scene, head to the capital known as the pink city, where Yerevan’s pulse beats with a bustling night life of live music, bars and open-air cafes – this is a city to overwhelm your senses, with its abundant culture, tastes, smells, sounds and colours.
